One of his numerous rallies of the day took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin. After concluding that rally, he still had one more to close out the day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Here’s a look at how many people attended his Kenosha rally, along with crowd size photos.

Kenosha was in national news this year as the location of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting, which occurred during protests that took place after Jacob Blake was shot by the police. Rittenhouse recently had his bail set at $2 million. In line with that news, Trump told the crowd: “They’re waging a war on our police.” Trump told the crowd that his administration saved Kenosha, adding: “We brought law and order.”

He also denounced the Supreme Court’s ruling that mail-in ballots in some states could still be counted if arriving after Election Day. He called the ruling “dangerous” and said his lawyers would fight it. He told the crowd: “We could be waiting for weeks before we ever find out what’s going on. The whole world is waiting for this decision.”
“I hope the Supreme Court has the wisdom to change it, because they can’t let it stand,” he said about those late-ballot-counting rules. According to CNN, mail-in ballots can be counted up to nine dates after Election Day in North Carolina; up to three days late in Pennsylvania; but must be counted by election day in Wisconsin.
